" The promulgation of a constitutional charter in Portugal is by no means a diplomatic question. Diplomacy has for its object the relations between States. It arranges alliances, conventions, and territorial cessions. • It negotiates and draws up treaties. In a Nord, it is the organ of external policy. " A diplomatist, who should meddle with the internal affairs of foreign country, who might pretend, for example, to support the Jesuits at Paris, the Apostolic* at Madrid, or the Absolutists at Liken, would only be an illustrious intriguer. We have seen a Monarch beloved by all true. Royalists, Gustavus 111., dismiss igno miniously an Ambassador, who extended the circle of diplomacy to intercourse with a domestic faction. " It is not to be supposed that the existing diplomacy, full of rflPect for the legitimacy, will dare to disregard the grand and outilime act by which the Emperor Don Pedro has assured to his "'wry legal liberty and a representative system. It is an set of that full and entire sovereignty with which this Prince was in 'wed and seized upon the death of his august father. Never was th tts any transaction more free, more independent of foreign in asPnce, and of every motive of fear. No bold is afforded for that istelent diplomacy which has elsewhere suceoeded in intruding 'Wt . between nations and legitimate kings. Will diplomatists ven lure to go to Lisbon, and say to the people, Arm yourselves litainst Don Pedro, the lawful heir of John IV., because he gives ) 1)4 a Constitution ?' Such, doubtless, could only be diplomatists rest clandestinely .by Mont-Rouge, emissaries of the Jesuits : for With them there is no other legitimacy than th% theocracy of l idsgrida. But the Regency of Portugal watch's over the fron- Lters; and would receive Ambassadors of o .lis kind with the amours due to them. e ' The act of fundamental legislotior,, which opens so happy a Perspective to the Portuguese natio": l , is an act of internal policy *--nf high and profound..polio.;.

Dutch Paper. It has been often remarked, that an open enemy is less to be dreaded than an injudicious.friend. The truth of this adage was never more forcibly ex emplified than in a circumstance which has lately oc curred. The Courier, in the heat of its zeal for the cause of the LoWTHERS in, Westmoreland, and the overthrow of Mr. BROUGHAM'S hopes, • appears on Saturday last to have put into its report of Colonel LOWTHER'S speech, some words which were not heard by those•who were present, and which might well be considered as offensive to Mr. BROUGHAM'S personal courage, from the insinuation they contained. On the receipt of the Courier at Appleby, a friend of Mr. BROUGHAM waited upon Colonel LOWTHER to as certain whether the Colonel had tittered the words at tributed to him, in .any part of his speech which had not been heard by Mr. BROUGHAM s friends. The Colonel, in the most open, direct, and manly manner, declared at once that he had never used any such ex. pressions as those put into his mouth, and repeated the words he did use. On the subject being.nien tioncd on the hustings on Monday, Colonel Low THER referred to the words he had actually used, and very properly added, that he was not answerable for any re port or obserVatiOnS which might he made elsewhere. The words thus proved to have been an addition made by the Courier to 6)lonel LOWTHER'S speech, are those in Italics in the following sentence. " He believed the Learned Gentleman would, if he took the trouble to inquire into' it, find that he under stood his trade, which was fighting, quite as well as the Learned Gentleman did his, which was talking : and if he had any of the quality which ought to be-1 long to his profession to spare, it might not perhaps prove .unacceptable to the Learned Gentleman, (hear, hear!) from whom he would have no objection to take in return a portion of his oratory." It certainly was very unlikely that Colonel Low- THER should have used these words. It would have been a gasconade entirely inconsistent with his charac ter, and one which he would never have condescended to make against Mr. BROUGHAM. The addition of them to his speech by a paper advocating his cause, subjected him to the imputation of having sanctioned their insertion, and the effect which the recourse to such a proceeding would naturally produce, could not fail to be injurious to the cause it was meant to assist. We therefore cannot do otherwise than join in the condemnation passed upon our eoteMporary, by the journals in the interest of Mr. BROUGHAM. We are as anxious for the cause of the LOWTIIERS ,to tri umph in Westmoreland, as the Courier can be, 'but we never would endeavour to support it by any other than those fair and manly mean's which'are most in ac cordance with, the principles on which it rests. We advocate their cause, because we consider that the pro perty • and conduct of the LOWTHERs justly entitle them to the representation of the county, while' their political principles are as they have been, in unisOn with the principles of the Constitution, and its best and most important interests: and we oppose the re turn of Mr. BROUGHAM, because we consider him as not having either from property or other circumstances, any pretensions whatever to represent Westmoreland, and because we admire not his political creed, nor the mode in which he has conducted himself in or out of Parliament. The contest, therefore, in Westmoreland stands in our opinion, on grounds which require no other sup port than a fair consideration of thg pretensions of all the candidates, and we are certain that it will terminate in the manner which all rational persons must desire. But to accomplish this end, the most zealous of the true friends of the LOWTHERS wish no departure from the eternal principles of justice and truth. Since writing the above, we have received by express the State of the Poll on Tuesday afternoon, by which it will be seen that Mr. BROUGHAM has again lost ground.

Mr. WAK.EiIEt,b was instmeted to say, that the statement made yeSterday by 'Mr. Horne, on behalf of the bankrupt, that the other-sids had refused to give a copy of the deposition as to• the petitioning creditors' debt, was altogether unfounded. The fact was, that the application had been made for a copy of the whole of the depositions. His LoRDSHIP said, that he never would, have ordered, and that it was excessively wrong for Gentle men, when they cattle' to complain, not to take care that they were accurate in what they said. The very contradictorystate of the affidavits and depositions alone induced the Court to take this mode of disposing,of the matter. All the Court meant was, that the party should, at the trial, be bound to make out the act of trading, the petitioning creditor's 'debt, as de scribed in the docket papers and the act of bank ruptcy ; and that for the purpose of all parties knowing that the debt was proved according to the deposition, it was necessary that a' copy of the deposition, as far as it went to describe the debt, should be furnished. This the Court again ordered. JUDGMENTS. His LORDSHIP said, he had brought down papers in several cases, with a view to have given judgment in those cases, but that he had, just before he came into Court, received a notice that he would have to go away early to-day, in order that preparations might be made for a good dinner, which was to be provided for the Benchers, and therefore he would not occupy time in giving them till to-morrow. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(Tits DAT.) BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. ALEINGTON V. COPELAND. Mr. SCARAATT stated, that this was an action brought. to re cover compensation for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was the daughter of a respectable Attorney, being only nineteen years of age, and the defendant was it sur geon of considerable practice. At the end of December, 1 824 , the defendant met the plaintiff at tke house of a mutual friend, and made great exertions to obtain an introduction to her, which he accomplished by being first introduced to her brother. lie endea voured by all the means in his power to gain her affections, which he accomplished, and continued his attentions till the latter part of last year, after which he wrote a letter saying, that some untoward circumstances prevented him from fulfilling his engagements to her, but without assigning any reasonable excuse for his conduct. This action was accordingly brought for the non-performance of his promise. The marriage was to have taken place in April of last year; but the plaintiff had now to seek reparation from a Jury of her country for the anguish and dis appointment which she had suffered by the unfeeling be haviour of the defendant. There was no want of virtue on the plaintiff's part to warrant such misconduct ; he could not have been disappointed in his expectations of a large fortune with her, as her father had told him that he had expended all his fortune upon his children's education. Chas. Alkington, brother of the plaintiff, said that she was only 18 years of age when the defendant paid his addresses to her. When he saw - defendant afterwards he spoke of his sister in gene ral terms. His sister came to town again in the beginning of November; about a day or two after the defendant called at his house. He paid marked attention to each of his sisters. Several letters from defendant to plaintiff were read,. net very amatory, hut amounting to a proposal of marriage. In consequence of theie letters he called on the defendant in two or three days after, and told him his sister hikd no fortune. De fendant said that all he wanted was herself. Defendant had a very good house, well furnished ; told witness he had another house in Carshalton, and that his business prOduced him three hundred a year, independent of his private property. After this defendant used to visit the plaintiff two or three times a day. (This case was not concluded when we were obliged to go to press.] POLICE 1N.1%,1 1,, 1A-ENCE. BOW-STREET,--(THts . DAY.) 10/1// Egan, a notorious pickpocket was brought before Sir Richard Birnie, by W. Nicholls, who stated, that he apprehended the prisoner about three o'clock this morning, in Pall-mall East. fie took him to St. Martin 'S watch-house, searched him, and, found secreted about his person no less than eight silk pocket handkerchiefs, five of which were marked with initials. It was supposed the prisoner was returning home with his night's booty from Vauxhall.—The prisoner offered no defence, and.waa rcn?anded till Tuesday next. ST. STEPHEN'S, COLEMAN-STREET. The election of a Vicar for this parish commenced this morn ing, in consequence of the Court of Chancery having decided that the one which took place in 1823 was illegal. On the former occasion the Rev. Josiah Pratt, the candidate opposed to the Rev, Mr. Fayle, was elected ; but a short time after the friends of the latter thinking the election illegal, filed a bill in Chancery, pray ing that either Mr. Foyle be declared the Vicar, or Mr. Pratt's election be rendered void. The Chancellor was pleased to corn ply with the latter part of the prayer, and out of it has arisen the present election. The High Church of England party, and the Aristocracy of the parish, are in favour of Mr. Fayle ; while the dissenters of every hue and shade, are straining all their powers to .promote the sue- . cues of Mr. Pratt. The good-wishes of the tradesmen also are said to be with the letter ; but they are unwilling to come forward, fearing to disoblige their employers, and are with their assistence, instead of participating in the bustle of the election, now enjoying themselves in the pleasures of a country excursion. The church in anticipation of the severity of the contest, was prepared for the occasion ; barriers were placed at the ends of the side aisles through which the voters are admitted, and at the chan cel a hustings was erected, which in solidity would have done honour to a county election. Before 9 o'clock the candidates, accompanied by their friends, made their appearance. The senior Churchwarden, Mr. Smith, was the presiding officer, and Mr. Pollock attended as Counsel for Mr. Pratt, and Mr. Nolan for Mr. Fayle, After the Rev. Gentlemen were put in nomination, the polling proceeded rapidly. The numbers up to 2 o'clock stood thus Rev. Mr. Pratt - 16*2 Rev.-141r. Fayle - 146 PRESTON ELECTION. The subjoined being part of a speech said to have been delivered by Mr. John Wood, one of the candidates, en evening or two pre vious, from a window of the Red Lion, Preston, is extracted from the Preston Chronicle of Saturday last, June 24th. " Let him (Capt. B arr i e ) b e ar the national flag against the foe if he will; but, if he were ben, I would till him this—that the national flag was never more disgraced than it is by being borne in a procession of men who are brought up to vote against their con sciences by the pries of bribery." Captain Berrie, the gallant Officer alluded to, feeling highly offended at this, immediately demanded an explanation of Mr. Wood, and received from him the following, which afterwards appeared in - a fourth edition of the Preston Pilot on Monday evening. " I am not answerable for newspaper reports ; but I haie no hesitation in saying, that the re port of my speech isinaccurate in many important points, and that I did not utter the words as above quoted by the Chronicle; an d I have further no hesitation in saying. tan' w at ay a n y el ha la te i v d er, ordis meant , to the national flag; or that he to imply, that Capt.

Some of the vagabonds who have charge of the turn pike gates round the metropolis, have invented the following fraud ; in giving what is called an " exchange ticket" to a pair of hired horses, they contrive that it shall be of a wrong date, and on its production on the return of the carriage, they take advantage of their own roguery, and insist upon the payment of the full duty for the day. At the Deptford Bench of Justices, on Saturday last, James Waterman, a common brewer, at that place, was convicted in the penalty ofloo/., for having . un lawfully in his possession the following articles, viz.— vitriol, liquorice, gentian, honey, salt of tartar, and carbonate of soda. The production of the above in gredients, especially the first, dated a very strong feeling in every one present, and the Magistrates, E. G.

SINGULAR DEATH.—A farmer of Thoarout, in Flanders, was following a swarm of bees in the heat of the day ; at length seeing the bees hanging on a branch of an ash, he presented the hive to tpem, but unfor tunately the queen bee took her station on his face, and in a moment the whole of the bees followed their sovereign, and the unfortunate man was overwhelmed by this cruel species of attack.

Alio Reed, the Chelsea Snob, took his benefit yerterdayi and had to be grateful for a respectable sprinkle of Noba—but he again complained of the absence of his brother millers, many of whom were not forthcoming. Upon the whole, however, the amusements were good, and the promise of future business flat tering. New MATCHIs.—Gas came forward, and said, as he had been informed that Gaynor wished to fight him again (they fought be fore at Epsom Races, 1820, he was willing to make the match far a hundred, and to stake forthwith. Gaynor answered the call, and proposed that Gas, being the winning man, should fight him 100 to 80, or 125 to 100. This (:;as declined, upon which Gaynor agreed to meet him upon even terms ; and in order to make the matter certain, N. a side was put down in the hand. of Harty Holt, to be made 201. a side, to-morrow evening, et the Cron, Cross-lane, Long-acre.—Bishop Sharpe also came for ward, and challenged Reed, and it was agreed that they should meet at Josh Hudson's, Leadenhall Market, this evening, to make a deposit. Tres FIGHT rItTwIEN llicUatti Marius AND JANUAII.T.—. Cross or no Cross ?--This subject came under discussion in the presence of the stakeholder, but neither of the umpires being pre sent, no decision was made, and the stakes still remain "as they were." January's friends, or rather those who were backing him, in broad terms assert that he lost the fight purposely; while the other side, and the impartial few, declare that be never had a chance. It turns out, however, that the intended biters were bitten. In other words, certain parties, who were laying out their money freely on January, had, with a view to make them selves sctfe, given Marten Sixty Pounds to lose the fight. This sum Marten with great prudence put into his pocket, promising to meet the views of his would-be seducers, and especially as he was told that, after all was over, he should have another 60/. But alas ; this well concocted scheme was frustrated. Marten told his hackers whet lied been done, and avowed his positive in tention to 'win, notwithstanding the temptation to which he had been exposed. The consequence was, that the aridity of the " all right" num wee met by the.baekers of Marten, and thus lots of pewter were linked. Marten, as we yesterday stated, won, being true to himself and his real friend*, and the rogues were floored in their own mire. This is as it should he. There can be no doubt that the Stakeholder *lust give up the stakes to the winning man. An attempt has been made to shut :Marten's mouth, hut we understand he is to make an affidavit declaring the name of the person from whom he received the hribe, and who is well known in the sporting world ; we shall he happy to stick him in the enviable aituation of a scarecrow, and to give him all the benefit of publicity. To such men don the Ring owe its present depreciated condition, and not to any want of. that spirit with which it wail formerly patronised. PEDESTRIANISM.
